The study of blood, blood-forming tissues, and their associated disorders.

The watery liquid part of blood, containing dissolved substances.

8% of total body mass.

Blood transports substances like oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.

Red blood cells, white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets.

Blood carries waste products like urea and creatinine to the kidneys for excretion.

Blood helps regulate body temperature by transporting heat to different parts of the body.

Platelets help in blood clotting by forming a plug at the site of injury.

Plasma is responsible for transporting heat throughout the body.

T & B lymphocytes and Natural killer (NK) cells.

Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils.

Plasma proteins have various roles, including transporting substances like hormones and drugs.

25 mmHg.

Fibrinogen plays a key role in blood coagulation by forming a network of fibers that traps blood cells.

Most plasma proteins are synthesized in the liver.

Albumin helps maintain colloid osmotic pressure, which prevents fluid loss from blood vessels.

Alpha globulin is responsible for transporting fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).

Fibrinogen contributes to blood coagulation by forming fibrin fibers, which help to form a clot.

Fibrinogen contributes to about 50% of the viscosity of blood.

Plasma proteins help maintain the volume of the vascular compartment by retaining fluid within the blood vessels.

Gamma globulins, also known as antibodies, provide immunity by binding to and neutralizing pathogens.

The concentration of fibrinogen in the plasma determines the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Albumin forms a loose bond with hormones, drugs, and metals to serve as a reservoir.
